Main concern is getting the crank arm back on tight enough. How do you know? Is
there a torque spec for square taper cranks?

Yep. You'll need Allen wrenches to fit the center crank bolt, plus the
chainring bolts.

So for my Sugino XD600 crank and my Shimano square taper bb spindle I just
need this, an allen wrench, and a chain ring bolt wrench to get the job
done?

I share Michael's to grease or not to grease quandary. My solution has been
to apply an ultra thin bit of grease to the tapers. Splitting the
difference I guess. So far so good. A torque wrench and patience gives me
peace of mind too.
Best of luck,

I have a nice torque wrench, so I use it on BB and cranks. When I've gone
back and checked, I've never had a relaxed crank bolt.
Keep up with chainring bolt tightness, though...
So far, the only chainring bolts that have never become loose on me were
factory-torqued Campy.

Loosening seems to be on account of the plastic nature of the aluminum arm
on the less so steel spindle under the stresses of pedaling, and the
subsequent loss of preload torque of the bolt.
I recall cheaper, softer alloy arms loosening with predictability. Maybe
that alloy was more plastic to
The grease or not to grease debate reverberates in the bike world, and
there are many smart people who say no grease. I have gone back and forth
over 35 years of bike wrenching but my personal experience says not to
grease. I have never damaged a crank by over tightening it. I have had

Or you can grease the spindle. That's always an option.

I think it's not a big deal either way, but here's Jobst on the subject,

Point of dis-agreement. I use anti-sieze on the spindle, and short wrenches to
avoid over-tightening. Valid point about over-tightening; it's easy to do. It's
a bicycle, not a bulldozer; easy does it, esp with aluminum.

1. I've never used a torque wrench, but I've been doing this stuff as long as
Mark has and probably have am internal torque sensor in my head. Torque
wrenches are a good thing.
2. No grease on square taper spindles. It encourages installing the crank too
hard to the point of splitting it.

Thanks. two more questions:
1.Just push on the crank and tighten like Mark does? No need to worry about
torque spec? It will settle in the original place on the spindle? Only
reason I mention that is because I think one of the Randonneurs on this
forum said he messed up his spindle by overtight
I've always used anti-sieze in place of grease. Seems to last forever. Never
had any problems even after years.

Yes. First, when you insert the crank bolt extractor make sure you
thread it all the way in. You are relying on those threads to break the
bond between the crank and the BB. Second. if you are working with a
Sugino crank, as shown on the video, keep in mind that you are working with
